Gromit
From Wallace and Gromit Wiki
Gromit the Dog (usually known as "Lad" by Wallace) is Wallace's sidekick, best friend, and pet dog.
Gromit is a dog, who lives with his friend and master, Wallace, at 62 West Wallaby Street.
Gromit is the brains behind the duo; and often rolls his eyes at Wallace's antics, or remarks and saving Wallace from many scrapes and calamities.
Gromit is usually portrayed as the series' main protagonist, although Wallace is actually the main protagonist.
Born on February 12th[1], Gromit went on to be graduated from "Dogwarts University" with a double first in Engineering for Dogs.[2] He enjoys knitting, reading the newspaper, and cooking. His prized possessions include his alarm clock, bone, brush, and a framed photo of himself with Wallace. He also cherished his giant vegetable marrow grown for the annual Giant Vegetable Competition shown in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. He is also very handy with electronic equipment and often helps Wallace with his many inventions. He is sensitive, intelligent, resourceful and holds a genuine affection for his master. He remains loyal to Wallace, even at his own expense or when Wallace's contraptions inevitably blow up in his face.
Gromit doesn't express himself with spoken words, but his facial expressions and body language speak volumes. Many critics believe that Gromit's silence makes him the perfect straight man with a pantomime expressiveness that drew favourable comparisons to Buster Keaton.[3] Although at times he does make dog-like noises, such as a yelp or grunts. Gromit also in A Matter of Loaf and Death meets and falls in love with a poodle named Fluffles, a abused pet of a cereal killer. Gromit enjoys eating "KornFlakes" and reading many books, including "The Republic", by Pluto; "Crime and Punishment", by Fido Dogstoyevsky; and a "how-to" guide entitled, "Electronics for Dogs". He also listens to Bach and can solves puzzles with ease.
